Russia has just recently cut off natural gas exports to Europe because of a dispute with Ukaraine.

If your data is on the cloud, potentially in another country, who in their right mind doesn't think that an unfriendly country might cut off data that transits through their territory?

Sure you can route around that, but who'd want to get stuck trying to get at their data at 56k dialup speeds?

Anyone?

The cloud is a ploy to sell devices and services. Nothing more.
